Inside TV legend’s Cotswolds home as fans get rare look

In January, it was announced that the cook, who lives in Moreton-in-Marsh just over the Oxfordshire border, would bow out of the Channel 4 show after nine series and judging more than 400 challenges.

The 86-year-old has been a judge on the popular baking show alongside Paul Hollywood since 2017, when the series moved from the BBC to Channel 4, replacing Henley resident Dame Mary Berry.

Now, Dame Prue has invited What Matters With Liz viewers into her Cotswolds kitchen for an impromptu, off-the-cuff tour of the vibrant, welcoming room.

This spot is where she records her programme Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen, and the tour was given to Liz Vaccariello, the editor of Woman’s World.

The subsequent article in the publication said: “What sets Leith’s kitchen apart isn’t just its charm – it’s its size.

“The room is large enough to accommodate an entire television production, which is no small feat when you’re filming a cooking series right at home.

“And just like Prue herself, the room is bright, cheerful and absolutely brimming with personality.”

During the tour, Dame Prue remarked: “It’s a lovely kitchen, and it’s big enough to have the whole film crew in here.”
